My grandparents were ranchers in the 20s and 30s. In their photos out in the corrals and such they're wearing fedora style hats. Pretty much identical to Indiana Jones. In fact, they all looked almost exactly like Indiana Jones in what they wore.

Shorter brimmed hats like the Fedora were very common in the Old West, as well.

Photographers had them push their hats up so their faces were visible. Right on. I've heard some say that's the way hats were worn all the time. Silly.

Yes. the brim on a hat was like sunglasses. Tipping it back on your head outside was not practical.

Yep...bought a Resistol cattleman at Goodwill for $20. Brim was shaped like a taco salad bowl, but a little steam had it lookin’ new in no time.. great little video.

I’ve been frequenting antique stores all across the country looking for all sorts of things, but a nice hat to add to the collection was always in the back of my mind. Most hats were either really misshapen or too small for my head, but I got lucky at a place in Ohio that had an old Ten X Thoroughbred for $35. Not sure how old, but it’s in pretty nice condition and looks great on me

Hats are funny things. Often if you look on ebay etc & search using the correct names you'll find the most expensive options. Search for something generic like "cowboy hat" or "black wide brimmed hat" & you'll find much the same thing but at a fraction of the price.

So true, have over fifty hats some $100-$200 (Stetsons, Resistol, American Hat Co and Millers Hat Co)ones, but my every day wear (Western Express)cost me less then $50, my go too hat wear it around the house and yard every day. Every hat I own, I've reshaped and replaced the hat band to fit me. But will admit Resistol is my favorite, perfect fit right out of the box, got a long oval head which Resistol makes their hats to fit. As always great vid. Keep up the good work.👍🏻🤠

Funny, I have a similar thing. The expensive hat I own is not my most comfy. The black one you see is a flea market purchase for less than $20.

My everyday hat cost me ZERO dollars. I was driving home from a conference and saw a Boot Barn and went in to grab a hat. Couldn't find anything then the sales lady asked me what's my size and she went to the back and grabbed a hat that was exactly what i was looking for and fit me perfectly. She said it was left by a customer to shape and he never came back so i can have it for free!

Being a retired professional archaeologist myself and having worked and lived in the Mojave and other deserts, I have tried and used many different hats. I finally settled on the Akubra Australian Army Slouch hat which I paid $150.00, for winter and heavy field work. I usually could get them to last 7 to 10 years without care. They shed water nicely and with the side pinned up allowed for more air cooling along the side. However, I also started using a brimmed breezer hat as I got older.

Out here on the east coast, Antebellum and Civil War reenactors and N-SSA Skirmishers use a forerunner of the Cowboys hat in the Confederate Slouch hat. About the best place I have found to get one is from a small one man shop named Dirty Billy's Hats. I had my first one from him back in the early 90's and wore it quite litterally to rags, it even was k ocker off my head one day when I was bush hogging on my farm and it got caught in the mower. The ordeal gave it a cut on the brim and a tear on the back but otherwise it was fine. I put a few stitches in it and wore it for another few years. My newest hat is still getting good and broke in, I've only had it about 3 years and wear it darn near everywhere, doesn't even have any cuts or tears and the factory hat band is still on it.

Do you know of any hat makers that do not make hats as stiff as a board and without those little holes in the sides?? Every hat/western wear store I go into has hats that all look exactly alike are so stiff they blow off when you ride at any faster than a slow walk. Movie cowboys, Gene, John, Hoppy, Matt, The Lone Ranger, et.al. don't wear stiff hats.

@DGDarcy

3 жыл бұрын

I know this is 2 years late, but, hats are stiff because they have to deal with all sorts of weather, snow, sleet, heavy rain, etc etc, as you war a stiff hat more it will soften up and conform to your head and the stiffening agent the store applied will wear down some, trust me, you don't want a soft crushable in rain or snow or anything else except for indoors and sunny days. As far as it flying off goes I'd chalk that up to fit rather than stiffness, you may want to size down a bit or try some sizing tape, I have 7 hats and not one of them flies off in wind or riding. If you want something that is nice and softER, the Stetson Carson is a good call. And as far as them all looking the same, just get it reshaped, no problem.

@@ArizonaGhostriders I imagine lots of thos pics were taken at End of Drive, $$$ = nee stuff, or before drive; the hats get shaped by handling & weather. I've had a Stetson 3xxx Cattleman, an old Dobbs knockoff Open Road, but the best outdoor / driving hat was a G.I. campaign hat. Well,2 of them. I crafted a paracord band on one and sold it for double the price! It also got me through a weight violation in N.C. But that's another story.

@@gulfrelay2249 Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, handling will shape a hat perfectly. Looks better than a machine-shaped one.

Hi Santee, where can I get a black hat similar to yours for $200, with at least 50% beaver fur?

Gee, I dunno. There is a fellow called Maverick Custom Hats who makes a "Santee", but I don't know how much he charges. Would be worth looking into.
